Product highlights
Digital Natural Motion
Philips invented Digital Natural Motion to eliminate
juddering effects that are visible with moving picture
content. Digital Natural Motion estimates motion in the
picture and corrects juddering movements in both
broadcast and recorded movie material (such as DVD).
The resulting smooth motion reproduction and excellent
sharpness take the viewing experience to a higher level.
Progressive Scan
Progressive Scan doubles the vertical resolution of the
image resulting in a noticeably sharper picture. Instead
of sending a field comprising the odd lines to the screen
first, followed by the field with the even lines, both fields
are written at one time. A full image is created
instantaneously, using the maximum resolution. At such
a speed, your eye perceives a sharper picture with no
line structure.
3D Combfilter
The 3D comb filter separates brightness and color
signals better in 3D domain to eliminate cross-color,
cross-luminance and dot-crawl distortion - all of which
detract from your viewing pleasure. The 3D digital
comb filter performs field-by-field comparisons of the
television image to accurately separate the color from
the black-and-white information and remove both
horizontally and vertically hanging dots, as well as dot
crawl. The result is a razor sharp image.
Active Control + Light Sensor
Active Control is a unique and intelligent way of
1.8
optimizing picture quality by measuring and analyzing
the incoming signal to automatically adjust picture
quality settings. Active Control with Light Sensor uses a
sensor to adjust the picture brightness depending on the
room light conditions.
Virtual Dolby Surround
Incredible Surround is an audio technology from Philips
that dramatically magnifies the sound field to immerse
you in the audio. Using state-of-the-art electronic phase
shifting, Incredible Surround mixes sounds from left and
right in such a way that it expands the virtual distance
between the two speakers. This wider spread greatly
enhances the stereo effect and creates a more natural
sound dimension. Incredible Surround means you
experience total surround with greater depth and width
of sound without the use of additional speakers.
HDMI input
HDMI makes an uncompressed digital RGB connection
from the source to the screen. By eliminating conversion
to an analog signal, it delivers an unblemished image.
The non-degraded signal reduces flicker and leads to a
clearer picture. HDMI intelligently communicates the
highest output resolution with the source device. The
HDMI input is fully backward compatible with DVI
sources but includes digital audio. HDMI uses HDCP
copy protection.
